Booking An Appointment

You can book an appointment yourself or your GP / Consultant can refer you for treatment.

We are hoping to be registered with private insurance companies in the autumn.

Initial appointments are usually 45-60 minutes long; follow up appointments vary between 30-60 minutes, depending upon the complexity of the condition.

Your first visit…

On your initial visit to us, you will be welcomed at our reception where you will fill in a simple registration form.

Anne will ask you questions regarding your medical history, general health and any relevant information regarding your current problem.

You will then be given a physical examination and undergo tests to give a working diagnosis and determine a treatment plan based on your individual needs.

Once a careful clinical assessment has been made by a thorough examination including tests and hands-on techniques, the treatment plan is discussed with you. This may just be advice, but may also include joint mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation/massage, exercises to correct muscle imbalance and poor core stability, stretches, advice with pain management and the all-important self-help techniques and home exercise programmes.

This session will also include your first treatment tailored to suit your individual problem.
